Chapter 1555
'Gentle?' Zachary fell silent. He recalled that little girl's hand on his neck that day,
and it seemed as though she wanted to strangle him to death. Perhaps gentle
was the right word to describe that incident, because at least she did not strangle
him to death.
When the door handle turned, Zachary immediately became alert and returned to
his usual calm demeanor.
When Sophia entered the room, she immediately saw “Benjamin’ talking to
Zachary. She had a slightly gloomy look in her eyes, but she nevertheless
greeted them with a smile. "Benjamin! You're awake! What are you two chatting
about?"
Zachary replied, "Nothing much. He told me he was hungry."
Sophia did not suspect a thing and said with a smile, "I was just about to ask
what the both of you want for dinner. Our refrigerator is running empty, so I
thought of getting some groceries.”
In a rare gesture of gentleness, Zachary looked at her and said, "Don't trouble
yourself. You've had a busy day today, so we can just have some room service."
Sophia felt touched by his kindness. "I'll be fine. I'm more than happy to cook for
you and Benjamin."
Zachary replied, "There's always tomorrow. You should get some more rest after
a busy day out. Besides, Benjamin said he's hungry now, so it'd be quicker for
you to order food from the hotel."
Sophia's smile froze right away. She thought that Zachary was concerned about
her, but she soon realized that his main concern was that she might take too long
to cook a meal for “Benjamin’. "Okay. I'll ask the hotel to send up some of
Benjamin's favorite food."
Zachary nodded.
Sophia prepared to call the hotel, but the boy's presence was like a thorn in the
flesh for her.
"Come here, “Benjamin’! Let's go get room service from the hotel. You can tell
them what you want to eat, and they'll bring it to you!" she said to ' Benjamin’,
faking a smile.
Bryan did not take kindly to Sophia's offer and replied defiantly, "I don't want to go
with you! I want to be with Daddy!" 1
Sophia's face soured for a moment, but she made an effort to keep smiling. "Be a
good boy and come with me. Well go order some room service."
Bryan remained close to Zachary and ignored Sophia.
Worried that Sophia might have any suspicions, Zachary raised his hand and
rubbed Bryan's head. "Go ahead, “Benjamin’. Just tell the hotel staff what you
want, and they'll bring it up for you. Order some beef pasta for me, too."
"Okay." Bryan nodded obediently at long last and walked toward Sophia with a
swagger. "I'll go with you!"

Bryan stared back at Sophia and replied angrily, "Have I ever been super excited
to be around you?"
